Swedish station names

[ohanhi]

The stations only have Finnish names in the API. I tried asking if the Swedish names could be added but there has been no activity: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/rata_digitraffic_fi/sovellukset/gKjT3XuCblI

As far as we only deal with commuter stations, it is conceivable to type them in the code manually. This could be done similarly to the other translations.

Thanks for trains.today, it's really useful and very well made!

Ideally official names would be in the official API, but still no reply on the dev group.

On the Slack for Open Knowledge Finland, @tuukka helped write a query and also imported the short and UIC codes into Wikidata. :)

Here's a query to list the Finnish train stations in Finnish and Swedish:

• http://tinyurl.com/y4xbqbfe

Here's a couple of downloads of that data:

• query.json.txt
• query-verbose.json.txt

You'll see the names are a little longer ("Pasilan rautatieasema", "Böle järnvägsstation") than in the Digitraffic API (""Pasila asema"), but hopefully the Swedish names are still of use!
